Bowen-Baily, D. Meaning in math and beyond. VIEWS, 19, 7. Excerpt: I think a workable middle ground may be found in not looking at the map [the signer sees the left side of the map on the interpreter's left], nor becoming the map [reversing the map so that the signer sees the left side of the map on the interpreter's right], but using the map [twisting slightly so that the deaf person and the interpreter see the map the same way].

Sign Language vocabulary: A resource text for educators, interpreters, parents, & Sign Language instructors. Charles C Thomas Pub Ltd; ISBN: 0398057222; Spiral edition. This book is a collection of technical terms, mainly to allow English-speaking instructors to teach deaf pupils. It is conveniently organized into various topics (English/literature, Social Studies, Science, Math, Health, Education, Non-Academics/vocational, and General Vocabulary). It might be less useful in non-educational situations, as many of the signs are "initialized," or variations of more standard signs that have been made with an alphabet handshape to indicate a specific English. Many deaf people are not English-oriented and would not necessarily be familiar with these signs. (Eileen K. Carpenter, reviewer)
